Spring Update - 9 months
Hi Friends & Family –
Just wanted to touch base and update you on our crazy wonderful lives. We are doing well and staying busy. Our Addison is growing by leaps and bounds. She is definitely keeping her Mommy and Daddy busy!! She is a very active and happy 9-month old. She just had her 9 month checkup and the Dr Chaban said she is doing beautifully. She is 28.5” long and 21 lbs. Also, she had her gastroenterologist appointment this week and Dr Bhargava said we don’t have to come in for any more appts. She said her reflux is better so we can finally start tapering down the medicine and also stop thickening her bottle feeds which is great! The thickening of bottles has put weight on our cutie but, it helped keep everything down with the reflux. We could not be happier that Addison’s colic/reflux is behind us now…what a rollercoaster ride! Addee has been doing her normal army crawl and gets around quite fast. She is now pulling up on furniture and standing for quite a few minutes at a time. She is very persistent so we think we will have a walker soon. She is so much fun. She loves her walks and playing with Grandpa K. She is so friendly and happy…enjoys being with people. We can’t tell you how many people say: “What a happy baby”. Addison is drinking water from a sippy cup and doing pretty well. She is eating some finger foods now too…puffed cereal, graham crackers, strawberries, bananas, and other soft vegetables. She is very independent and enjoys picking up her own food. She has 2 bottom teeth that are almost in and has been pretty good so far…not too fussy. But, believe me we know fussy with her colic and reflux. So, I think we will get through teething. She certainly is very vocal with her squeals and babbling different sounds. She really enjoys books and turning the pages. During story time at night she turns the pages for us. We cannot even explain the fun we are having…she really is a dream come true. We had a fun 1st Easter with Addison. She enjoyed getting into her basket from the Easter bunny and even went in the pool for the first time. She loved the pool – we knew she would. An update on the Mommy and Daddy….Kirk loves his job at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He is so happy! He has not had to travel too much but, does have 5 day trips here and there. We are both working from the house and it has been working out great. Kirk also still works a day or so per week at Williams Sonoma. I have been keeping busy working 2 part-time positions from home. One is at Universal Creative where I am recruiting for their project based division. I go into the office occasionally but, I am mainly working from our home office. The other new role is a new part-time position for a banking software company called Open Solutions. I am working with their Sales Proposal team managing their RFP database. I am still learning the system but, so far so good. Also, calligraphy has been picking up so have been fitting that in as well. Still involved with the Diabetes board and walk committees. We have our corporate breakfast this Wednesday and hoping for a good turnout. Busy at our household is an understatement. We are looking forward to a July 4th trip to Sky Valley, Georgia with the Yallalys and Bunn families. Also, we plan on visiting with Mom and Dad Cooper in South Carolina. We finally booked a cruise to go and celebrate my Dad’s retirement. We will be going in August on a 1 week cruise with my Dad, Blain, Loretta, and my Grandmom. I think it will be a fun time…it will be Addee’s 1st cruise! In just a few months our Addison will be a 1 year old. It is amazing how time flies when you are having fun! We are so enjoying our sweet girl. She is truly a blessing and we are honored to be her parents. She is a JOY!! Loving every minute of it. I am looking forward to celebrating my 1st official Mother’s Day with our girl. I miss my Mom everyday especially on Mother’s day. She is still my inspiration especially raising Addison. Wishing my Mom K, Mom C, Grandmom Selters and Aunt Jackie a very happy Mother's Day! Also, Happy Mother's day to all of Addison's Aunts too. Enjoy your precious families! Enjoy the latest photos below of us!
Until next time…always remember to Live, Laugh, and Love!
Love, The Coopers :o)

6 Months!
Woo Hoo...our sweet girl is 6 months old! Sorry for the long delay in posting. Life sure does get crazy with a little one especially during the holidays.
Our family participated in the Step Out Walk to fight diabetes in memory of my Mom on Nov 6th. It was a nice day and enjoyed having our friends and family's support. We raised over $2,500 this year. It was a very successful event! We hope that a cure is found for diabetes soon! Also, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday. Our stetson family got together at our home for turkey day. It was lots of fun to get together and with our kids too. It was a great time seeing everyone. We had Addison's baptism at St. Margaret Mary by Father Pat on Dec 22nd. It was a beautiful service and Addee looked beautiful. She was so good during the ceremony and loved listening to Fr Pat. Blain and Loretta are her amazing godparents. They flew in from Toronto for the holidays. We had a small reception afterwards at our home. It was a wonderful day with close family and friends.
Addison's 1st Christmas was extra special too. She enjoy opening gifts but, most of all enjoyed the wrapping paper the most. It was pretty funny how she wanted to eat it more than anything. We enjoyed being with Blain and Loretta...it is so fun being with them. Our visits are always special and our family really enjoys being together. We mainly enjoyed playing with Addison, eating lots, catching up and prepared hors d'oeuvres for Fr Pat's Christmas Eve service (always fun). It has been our family's tradition for many years each Christmas. Also, we enjoyed being with Kirk's family during Christmas too. Kirk's parents were here and also Mark, Terri, Spencer and Grace. So, Addee was able to meet her Aunt, Uncle and cousins from Denver. We also did the holiday fun with food, games, family pictures and catching up. It was really nice being together with the Cooper family.
Addison has come a long way since I last posted. Her colic finally stopped at the end of 4 months. She is very happy baby now and shares lots of smiles. She still has the reflux but, she is doing well with thickening her formula and the prevacid. That seems to help her a lot. It seems like the reflux is improving and she is starting to grow out of it. Addee is rolling like a roly poly and is doing a scooting crawl...like an army crawl. She is all over the place...we know its just beginning. She loves to crawl/scoot over to her toys so she is moving a lot in the family room. She loves it! Addison loves her walks. We just put together her jogging stroller so she can join her Mommy on some walks/runs. We started veggies at 4 months. She has always had cereal in her bottle for reflux plus now she has solids....fruit/veggies each day. We are making all her baby food in the beaba baby food maker. So far she has enjoyed sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, zucchini, string beans, peas, bananas, and apple sauce. She loves everything so far! Addison is talking some saying baa baa and other sounds. She recognizing her name when you call her. It is truly a joy to have her in our lives. We are truly blessed with our beautiful girl. Some say she is starting to look a little like her Mommy but, she definitely looks like her Daddy more. We certainly adore our amazing baby girl!!! ;o)
Life has been busy but, going great. I am still recruiting from home part-time while taking care of Addison. I am now the logistics chair rather than committee walk chair for the Step Out walk for Diabetes. I am also still active on the board for ADA in Orlando. My Dad comes to help take care of Addison when I am on my calls...he is a lifesaver and awesome Grandpa. Kirk just started a new career with Pricewaterhouse Coopers in their advisory group. It is his dream job and he is enjoying it so far. He just started on 1/31. So happy for him...he really deserves this!
Wishing you all a wonderful week! We will keep posting soon. xoxo
Here are some pictures to catch you up since November...Addee's 6 month dr appt is 2/9 so more updates to come!
Love,
Katee, Kirk and Addison
